The Rising-Out of the Men of Connacht at Cruachan Ai Summary

Ailill and Medb send messengers to the neighboring kings to gather armed men at Cruachan. Three thousand men come from Mani and Maga, and three thousand come from Cormac Conlongas and Fergus macRoig. Cormac's men were divided into three units with splendid armor and uniforms. One unit wore green, silver and gold. A second wore red, white and blue, and the third, with whom Cormac marched, wore yellow and purple.

The men all come to Cruachan and set up camp for two weeks. The fortunetellers and druids make them wait around for a sign that they should go into battle. The chapter ends with Medb going to visit her own druid.
